WHAT REDACTKIT DETECTS • Person names and identities • Email addresses • Phone numbers (all formats) • Physical addresses and locations • Social Security Numbers (SSNs) • Credit card numbers • Dates of birth and other sensitive dates PRIVATE BY DESIGN RedactKit runs entirely on your device using CoreML and NeuroBERT. Your text never leaves your iPhone. No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking — just fast, accurate, local processing. KEY FEATURES • AI-Powered Detection: Uses CoreML and NeuroBERT for accurate, real-time PII identification • Animated Redaction: Smooth, satisfying animations show exactly what's being protected • History Management: Processed content is saved locally so you can revisit previous redactions • Clipboard Integration: Paste text in and copy clean output out in seconds • Beautiful SwiftUI Interface: Modern design with clean visual feedback HOW IT WORKS 1.
